Scrap Your Trip Donates 10% of Sales to American Red Cross Haiti Relief Fund

There are lots of great things that come from owning your own company.  I don’t get in trouble for being late to work in the morning…If I want to take a long lunch to run a few personal errands I can…and I get to choose the people I work with every day.  But the best part of owning a company?  The ability to make a bigger difference in the world through my company than I would ever be able to make as just me.

I think many of you feel as I do about the tragedy in Haiti.  “I want to help!  What can I do?  Where do I donate?  Oh, I meant to do that yesterday.”

Well, I, Julie Swatek, want to help.  So here is what I am going to do.  Scrap Your Trip will be donating 10% of sales from Wednesday 1/20 through Friday, 1/22 to the American Red Cross Haiti Relief and Development Fund.  

That is 10% of SALES, not profits.  

We have also set up an item HAITI on Scrap Your Trip.  It has a cost of $10.  For every $10 you “spend” on this item, we will match the amount and send a double donation to the American Red Cross.  Click here to donate:  http://www.scrapyourtrip.com/haiti.html

If you would like to donate directly to the American Red Cross instead of through Scrap Your Trip, please text HAITI to 90999 to make a $10 donation.

I am not adding any new products or having any additional sales this week.  I am choosing to spend that money helping the people of Haiti instead.  I think it’s a good choice.

I consider it one of my purposes in life to make the world a better place, one person at a time.  From the bottom of my heart, thank you for helping me do that.   See you on Facebook! http://www.facebook.com/ScrapYourTrip
  As always, thanks for your business.   Julie Swatek, President
